And given that I cannot recall any major mixed-gender sport...
IIRC, tennis has mixed-double matches, but then it's still M/F vs M/F, no M/M vs F/F or M vs F or anything like that. Just M/F vs M/F. Well, it's mixed anyways.

Like high school wrestling. I remember seeing a report on TV a few years ago: some schools that can't field both male and female teams allow mixed teams and M/F matches. Wrestlers compete within weight classes, which removes the size issue, at least on a gross level. The show featured one female wrestler (100 lb?) who was having some success against male opponents.
